Why this happens
Glucosamine and chondroitin (found in Joint Assurance) can enhance the effects of blood-thinning medications. While they do not directly change how furosemide works in the body, the combination can occasionally lead to changes in blood sugar or blood pressure stability in sensitive individuals.
What you should do
It is generally safe to take these together, but you should monitor your blood pressure regularly. If you notice any unusual bruising, bleeding, or a significant change in your blood sugar levels, speak to your GP or pharmacist.
